Text formatting (newbie questions)

I've been trying to make an epub out of rtf using 3 methods: directly in calibre,
Writer2EPUB & calibre rtf to txt >sigil.
In all cases the result was the same: a lot of broken lines & blank lines between paragraphs instead if indents, which makes the book very ugly & difficult to read.
Removing all the </p> <p> pairs manually even using "Find & Replace <p>[a-z]
Find Next" feature takes forever & being a newbie (my second day with sigil) i don't know where to start with removing the blank lines.
I would also like to be able to decrease the font size in the resulting ebook -
my desktop ADE goes to 3 column display if i do it there & i like an ebook to be as much like the paper one as possible.
I apologize in advance if my questions are too dumb but help would be very much appreciated.
